()10. They might not know how you feel you talk to them.

A.although
B.if
C.until
D.so

10. C

【分析】首先理解句子含义：“他们可能不知道你的感受，________你和他们交谈”。接着分析各选项连词的用法：A项although表让步，意为“虽然”；B项if表条件，意为“如果”；C项until常与not搭配构成固定结构not...until，意为“直到……才”；D项so表结果，意为“所以”。结合句子逻辑，此处需要表达“直到你和他们交谈，他们才可能知道你的感受”，符合not...until的结构，因此选C。
【解析】该句意为“他们可能直到你和他们交谈才知道你的感受”。A项although引导让步状语从句，不符合逻辑；B项if引导条件状语从句，语义不通；C项until与not构成固定搭配not...until，符合句子逻辑；D项so引导结果状语从句，不符合语境。故答案为C。
【答案】C
【知识点】从属连词；固定搭配（not...until）
【点评】本题考查英语从属连词的用法，核心是掌握not...until这一固定结构，需结合语境判断逻辑关系，属于基础考点，难度不大。
【难度系数】0.5

Kindness Counts
Do you believe that small acts of kindness have a greater influence than you think?
Research has shown that adults undervalue the influence of random（随机的）acts of kindness. They don’t think that kind actions will make a big difference. To find out what kids would think of small acts of kindness, researchers Echelbarger and Epley did an experiment. In 2023, they published a study in Journal of Experimental Psychology, in which they described their experiment.
The experiment took place at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry, in Chicago. Researchers spoke with 101 kids who were visiting the museum. And they gave each kid two free, museum-themed pencils. The kids could take both pencils home or they could give one of the pencils to a stranger.
Before giving away the pencil, the researchers asked the kids to guess how “big” their act of kindness would be to the people who receive the gift. Would the person be happy? Or would the gift feel like no big deal?
“Many kids had trouble guessing,” says Leng Yanyi, a research assistant who helped with the experiment. Leng told TIME for Kids that some of the children said, “I’d like to give away my pencil ... but I’m not sure how they’re going to feel.”
In fact, people who received the pencils were much happier than the givers had predicted. Additionally, the kids felt satisfied after giving the pencils to others. “It proves（证明）the power of these small, random acts of kindness,” Echelbarger says. “Like, ‘You could have chosen anyone, but you chose me.’”
Echelbarger and Epley’s study proves that doing good feels good. This is true for the kid on the receiving end of a good deed as well as for the kid who performs it.
1. Why did Echelbarger and Epley do the experiment?

2. What could the kids do with the pencils?

3. How did the kids feel after giving the pencils to others?

4. Do you agree with the saying “Doing good feels good”? Give an example to support your idea.

1. To find out what kids would think of small acts of kindness.
2. The kids/They could take both pencils home or they could give one of the pencils to a stranger.
3. The kids/They felt satisfied.
4. Yes./Yes, I do. Last week, I helped my classmate clean the classroom when she was not well. She was very grateful and I also felt happy. 或 Yes./Yes, I do. On my way to school, I found shared bikes fell on the ground. I placed them in order. This small act of kindness made my day.（答案不唯一，言之有理即可）

Ⅴ. 文段表达。
假设你是李华，你的英国笔友 Peter 本学期来北京上学了，最近他有点想家，面对新环境，他在饮食起居、交友及学业等方面感到有些不适应，发来邮件向你求助。请你用英文给他回一封邮件，告诉他你收到邮件后的感受以及你的具体建议。不少于60词。
提示问题：
● How do you feel when you know Peter's problems?
● What's your advice to help Peter?

Dear Peter,
I'm sorry to know that you are having a hard time these days. Don't worry too much because it's common for most people to feel homesick and nervous when they leave home and come to a new place, especially a foreign country.
To fit in with a new environment, it's a good idea to change some of our habits. For example, try some local food. It's really delicious. If you feel lonely, you'd better make new friends. It will be quite easy for you to make friends with friendly Chinese. Joining some clubs is also a great way to reduce the stress of study and it will help you learn more about the local culture.
Wish you a wonderful time in Beijing.
Yours,
Li Hua
